How do I avoid plagiarism?

Question

I am sick of losing marks for my research projects due to plagerism.

How do I avoid this.

Answer 1

Copy and paste the paragraph to a word document then right mouse click a word and press synonyms then choose a word.

Answer 2

never exactly copy anything you write. Use a thesaurus and completely alter your sentence.

examples;

Don't put all your eggs in one basket.

It is unwise to gather the total amount of ovum in one receptacle.

Park the car in the garage

Leave the automobile in its protected parking space.

If there are words that are germane and cannot be  changed leave no more that two in a sentence and change everything else.

Example;

Internal diesel power must be maintained

Centralized diesel power requires supervision.

Answer 3

How about you stop copying other peoples work, ideas etc and try having original thoughts. If you did you wouldn't need anyone to answer daft questions like this

Answer 4

If you are plagiarizing then stop.  If you aren't then you might want to dull down the words in your paper a little bit.

Answer 5

Do the work yourself, in your own words from your own thoughts.  It's really not that hard!

Answer 6

I'm afraid you're gonna just have to do the work without copying. The simplest way is to gather information from a number of sources, then slightly alter it.  

Answer 7

Don't copy huge chunks of answers off the net! use your own wording and thoughts. Search for ideas then think of ways you can change this into your own way of thinking.  Any text you do use then make sure you reference it correctly!! Good luck :)

Answer 8

If it's plagiarism of class mates then try to find out what they are doing. If its from books or internet then make a bibliography and use you're own words  

Answer 9

Well, in my freshman year, I would read through a paragraph off an article and then I would write or type out what I understood from the paragraph by trying not to repeat too many words that were in the paragraph.
